Built in 1948 by Sam Minskoff & Sons, 710 Park Avenue was one of the first apartment buildings constructed on Park Avenue after World War II. This 20 story red brick cooperative sits at the prestigious southwest corner of Park Avenue and 70th Street, occupying a site with remarkable history—it was formerly home to the Union Theological Seminary and later George Blumenthal's mansion, whose famous patio is now prominently displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The building's distinctive asymmetric façade features a prominent wrap around balcony on the 15th floor that extends northward around the corner, creating a dominant architectural feature visible throughout the neighborhood.
The 87 unit building offers white glove service with 24 hour doorman and concierge, along with amenities including a fitness center, landscaped courtyard, wine cellar, and private storage. The co-op is notably accommodating, welcoming pets and pied-à-terre owners while permitting 50 to 60% financing. Dave Garroway, the first host of "The Today Show," was among the building's notable residents. A 2% flip tax is paid by purchasers, and in-unit washer/dryer installation is permitted.
Apartments throughout the building share several distinctive features, most notably beautiful herringbone hardwood floors, generous entry galleries, and through the wall HVAC systems. Many units boast terraces or balconies, with higher floor apartments offering spectacular Central Park and city skyline views. The layouts tend to be gracious and well proportioned, with windowed kitchens, crown moldings, and abundant closet space. Corner units are particularly desirable, offering multiple exposures and enhanced natural light, while penthouse and upper floor apartments often feature expansive wrap around terraces that take full advantage of the building's prime Park Avenue location.

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.
By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
